If you're Kortney Wilson, what's better than having one space to redesign and stage for a flip? Having two spaces in one, of course. That's the situation Kortney and Dave faced when they took on a duplex on a recent episode of Masters of Flip. Sure, the couple may have extended their timeline, but in the end they were able to create two modern yet classic spaces with beautiful pops of red that not only attracted a fair share of potential buyers, but landed them top resale dollars too.

Coming Home
1/23Coming Home
1/23To make a lasting first impression as soon as you walk through the front door, Kortney added a fun, geometric patterned area rug to the main living area, which lends modernity to the classic hardwood floors. Furniture pieces like an oversized sofa, a bright red armchair and a glass coffee table complete the look.Masters of FlipKortney Wilson Goes Vintage, Modern and Red in Duplex RedesignComing Home

Seeing Red
2/23Seeing Red
2/23What started out as a closet made the perfect nook for a pantry, a bar or extra storage in the dining room. Kortney tied the red walls back into the main space with bright red chairs and table accessories, but kept the overall look classic thanks to the dining table's dark wood finish. Add in a few modern-meets-rustic light fixtures overhead (we love the candle-inspired chandelier!) and it becomes a space we'd definitely dine in.Masters of FlipKortney Wilson Goes Vintage, Modern and Red in Duplex RedesignSeeing Red

Bright and Airy

A large island adds function, automatically creating a breakfast bar and giving homeowners more counter space for meal prep. Meanwhile, large white cabinets and a statement herringbone backsplash soak in and reflect the space's natural light.Masters of FlipKortney Wilson Goes Vintage, Modern and Red in Duplex RedesignBright and Airy

Warm Undertones

Natural Light

7/23Red is still present in this space, just toned down in favour of other interesting colour combos like the earthy hues seen in the area rug and artwork above the stained cabinet.

Double Dens
13/23Double Dens
13/23Because two sitting areas aren't enough, Kortney maximized the upstairs by adding what she calls a "bonus room" that's perfect for TV marathoning or as a kids' play space. The red theme continues here too with accents like the industrial-style chairs and coffee table. The addition of mismatched furniture helps to create a more lived-in vibe.Masters of FlipKortney Wilson Goes Vintage, Modern and Red in Duplex RedesignDouble Dens

The Convertible Room

A Touch of Yellow
15/23A Touch of Yellow
15/23In the second larger bedroom, Kortney punched up the red scheme by introducing fun yellow elements like the headboard and striped curtains.

Neutral Staging

17/23The first bedroom continues the red theme thanks to the bedspread, sofa chair and ombre lamps, but again Kortney demonstrates that red doesn't rule all.
